Yay, I made it through the first month of the year!!  Go ME!!

After our two weeks straight of beautiful 75-80 degree weather everyday, we had some freak rainstorm that blasted through yesterday and last night.  We had grilled on Saturday night, and left the grill cover off.  So today, I went in the backyard to cover the BBQ back up, when I discovered this little treasure...

We had been hearing him croak for the last few days.  Kept wondering if he would show him/herself.  Well lo and behold.  I just let him be :)

Alex loves to read, probably more than anything in the world.  He loves for you to read to him, he loves reading by himself, and he has discovered that he loves reading to others as well. He finally had the great idea to read it to Shamu.  Doesn't Shamu look totally excited?  LOL!

We had a visit from my inlaws this weekend, so I didnt get a chance to post much.  Here is our Saturday picture of Alex and his Gramma.  He's showing her what a genius he is and pointing out all his letters and numbers on the refrigerator door.  He loves his magnets :)

I realized today that I am officially the mother of a toddler.  A toddler boy, no less.  Runs everywhere, falls down, skins knee.  Repeat several times a day.  We had a lunch date with my dad on Wednesday.  My dad pointed at Alex's knee and asked about his "owie"  Ever since then, Alex will sit down, point at his knee, make a sad face and in a pitiful voice say "owie"   Here he is pointing out his "owie"  Complete with dirty, digging in the dirt, boy hands....

Today, we headed to the world famous San Diego Zoo. There was a new baby hippo we wanted to see.  Too bad the baby hippo did not want to be seen.  But we saw some pretty cool flamingos....

Here is Alex's new preferred position while watching TV.  It really doesn't look comfortable, but hey, whatever makes him happy.

Today we went to Lake Poway to feed some ducks and play at the playground.  Alex gets braver and braver every day.  He wants to climb up the stairs by himself, he wants to sit on the "big" swing now, and he goes down bigger slides without his mama :(  Here he is looking quite proud
